Dear XXX,

Start by sharing your Y story or why you support the Y. Your role at the Y.

At the Y, 1 out of every 5 of our members are on financial assistance for membership and/or program
fees. By donating today, you can help more kids participate in youth sports or learn to be safe around
water. You can assist cancer survivors reclaim their health after treatment ends or you can help children
be safe within the walls of our Y on a daily basis. We host blood drives, school supply drives, food drives and
often collect items for our Christmas Giving Trees to help those going through a tough time. As you can
see, our work in the community is not finished.

As we raise funds for our Annual Campaign, we turn to you for support. A meaningful gift will help us meet
our goal of $XXXX. Please consider a pledge by October 31st to be included in the 2024 Annual Campaign.
The need is real, and YOU can make a difference. Invest in our community, donate today to the Summerville Family YMCA.
I’ve made my donation; can I count on you to make one too?

Your donation can be a pledge which does not need to be paid until the end of the year. Please consider
